Position Summary
We are seeking an experienced Senior DevOps Engineer with strong expertise in Harness.io, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and platform automation. The primary responsibility of this role is to lead application migrations from Jenkins and GitHub Actions into standardized Harness CI/CD pipelines.

This is a highly hands-on technical position requiring expertise in designing reusable CI/CD patterns, resolving complex migration challenges, optimizing pipeline performance, and providing technical direction to engineers involved in application migration activities.

The environment includes Java, Go, Node.js, and Python applications deployed across AWS and on-premise datacenter infrastructure, with Kubernetes, Helm, OpenTofu/Terraform, Ansible, and GitOps as key components of the delivery ecosystem.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the technical migration of Jenkins and GitHub Actions workflows into Harness CI/CD.
• Assess existing pipelines, shared libraries, integrations, credentials, runners, and deployment processes.
• Design and implement reusable Harness steps, step groups, stages, pipelines, and templates.
• Establish standards for Harness pipeline architecture, template reuse, inputs, variables, secrets, approvals, and deployment patterns.
• Develop standardized migration patterns that modernize legacy CI/CD implementations.
• Design CI/CD workflows supporting Java, Go, Node.js, and Python applications.
• Establish and support GitOps-based application and infrastructure delivery.
• Design and maintain reusable Helm charts and Kubernetes deployment patterns.
• Develop and integrate Infrastructure as Code using OpenTofu/Terraform.
• Implement configuration automation using Ansible roles and playbooks.
• Support deployments across AWS, Kubernetes, virtual machines, and traditional on-premise datacenter environments.
• Troubleshoot complex pipeline, build, infrastructure, networking, and deployment issues.
• Optimize pipeline performance, reliability, caching, parallelization, resource utilization, and failure diagnostics.
• Build self-service and reusable delivery capabilities to simplify application-team onboarding.
• Establish CI/CD governance, security, approval, and policy controls.
• Conduct code, pipeline, template, IaC, and automation reviews.
• Mentor DevOps engineers and provide technical direction for migration activities.
• Collaborate with application, infrastructure, cloud, architecture, and security teams to resolve technical dependencies and blockers.

Required Qualifications

• 6+ years of hands-on experience in DevOps, CI/CD, platform engineering, SRE, build/release engineering, or infrastructure automation.
• Strong experience designing and operating enterprise CI/CD platforms.
• Practical hands-on experience with Harness.io CI/CD, including pipeline and template development.
• Strong experience with Jenkins pipelines and migration or modernization activities.
• Experience with GitHub Actions and Git-native CI/CD workflows.
• Strong understanding of Git, branching strategies, release management, and GitOps principles.
• Advanced YAML and configuration-as-code skills.
• Strong experience with Terraform and/or OpenTofu, including reusable module development.
• Hands-on experience with Ansible, including roles and playbooks.
• Strong Kubernetes and Helm experience, including reusable Helm chart development.
• Working knowledge of AWS infrastructure and application delivery.
• Experience supporting hybrid cloud and on-premise datacenter environments.
• Strong Linux, scripting, and command-line troubleshooting skills.
• Automation experience using Python, Bash, Go, or similar programming languages.
• Understanding of build, packaging, and dependency-management practices for Java, Go, Node.js, and Python.
• Experience with containers, artifact repositories, and container registries.
• Ability to independently diagnose and resolve complex CI/CD and infrastructure issues.
• Ability to quickly assess existing delivery implementations and make sound technical and architectural decisions.

Preferred Qualifications

• Deep hands-on experience with Harness.io CI/CD.
• Experience designing Harness pipeline and template architectures at organizational scale.
• Familiarity with Harness Git Experience and configuration-as-code practices.
• Experience with Harness Delegate architecture, configuration, and troubleshooting.
• Proven experience performing Jenkins-to-Harness migrations.
• Experience migrating GitHub Actions workflows into Harness.
• Experience developing standardized or golden-path CI/CD capabilities.
• Strong understanding of GitOps architecture and implementation.
• Experience in AWS and Kubernetes platform engineering.
• Knowledge of CI/CD performance optimization and delivery telemetry.
• Experience with REST APIs and integration automation.
• Familiarity with secrets management and software supply-chain security.

Governance and Performance Knowledge

• Experience with the following technologies, practices, and concepts is highly desirable:
• DORA metrics, including Deployment Frequency, Lead Time for Changes, Change Failure Rate, and Mean Time to Restore (MTTR).
• OPA (Open Policy Agent) and Policy as Code.
• Enterprise CI/CD governance and automated guardrails.
• Software supply-chain security, artifact provenance, and Software Bill of Materials (SBOM).
• SAST, SCA, container scanning, and automated security controls.
• Progressive delivery strategies, including canary and blue/green deployments.
• Pipeline performance and reliability metrics.
• Platform engineering and Internal Developer Platform (IDP) practices.

Key Competencies

• Ability to become productive quickly in complex CI/CD and infrastructure environments.
• Strong automation, architecture, and troubleshooting capabilities.
• Ability to independently drive migrations from discovery through production cutover.
• Ability to identify recurring engineering challenges and convert them into reusable platform capabilities.
